    A piece composed in 1908, played so beautifully on an instrument unknown at that time. I'm sure audiences in 1908 would have thought an electric guitar as vulgar (if they could conceive of one) and many modern guitarists wouldn't consider studying Debussy. Here they meld so wonderfully. If only the extremists of the world could see the beauty of coming together despite differences. It is not a black and white world in which we exist. This is a small yet wonderful example of what can come from of an open mind that is not afraid to explore, and consider things from another perspective.

      Ótimas ideias.
      Mas observe como são as coisas em sua dinâmica e forma(!).
      Não sei se você sabe,mas Debussy era amigo de Monet, e ambos fizeram cada um ,um trabalho artístico,quando foi inundado um vale para a construção de uma represa,e restava uma velha igreja que foi inundada ao desviarem o curso das águas para aquele lugar.Debussy compôs uma peça musical,e Monet um quadro.

    Beautiful, I've been looking for examples of electric guitar played this way, seems most electric guitar players are heavily blues influenced but after playing classical and electric guitars for many years I figured somebody out there was also playing so called classical music on electric too. The sustain must make it even trickier to manage the harmonic progression because of over ring. Well done.
